help! hello im new to this site and im stressing out real bad. my yorkie benjamin (6 months) had some real salty chicken soup yesterday. it was by mistake and it was at a relatives house. since then, hes vomited 2-3 times, and i believe hes been constapaited because i havent seen any poop lately. first thing he did when he got home was drink alot of water then he peed all over the couch. so today he didnt drink anything and no poop. for lunch and dinner he had boiled chicken w rice and still, nothing. every 15-20 minutes he tries to sleep but then he gets these really strong twitches where he literally jumps up. hes active if i call him and play, and i even went out right now and got him a baby bottle to give him water (he drank a little), and i gave him a quarter teaspoon of canned pumpkin about half hour ago... what should i do? im really worried especially with the twitching. i guess its stomach pains? i dunno... someone help me because its 2am and the vet is closed.... thank you in advance and i apologize for my spelling but im really nervous... |
welcome to YorkieTalk! I don't have any advice for you.. but it seems like you're doing everything right... I really doubt there's anything wrong with him, just a little upset stomach.. try giving him some cottage cheese... Do you have a 24 clinic you can go to or call?? If not, just keep a close eye on him and take him to the vet tomorrow. Good Luck Keep us posted |
well i guess ill be up all night watching him cause im too worried. the twitching worries me alot. do you know how long the pumpkin will take? |
I've never given pumpkin.. so I can't answer that.. I give Kayah about 5cc of peptoalong with chicken and rice... she doesn't like the pepto.. but it always helps |
There is such thing as salt toxicity in a dog. The twitches could be neurological problems. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/hazards.htm Read the part about Play dough...it talks about Salt Toxicity http://dogcentral.msn.com/article.as...mentid=4935769 Salt at the bottom I do know some of those canned soups are very salty...and that is a lot of salt for such a small dog. Your baby could be showing signs of toxic salt levels. You might want to consider taking him to the ER vet |
so i guess pepto on top of pumpkin is a no no |
After re-reading those articles I posted, you really need to get your baby to a vet ASAP. If the twitching only started after the salt ingestion, it is almost certain to be neurological. If it's salt toxicity, treatment needs to start ASAP. |
the twitching started today. soup was yesterday |

THANK YOU YORKIE LOVERS!!!!!!!!!:thumbup: |
I hope your baby gets better soon. I think you had better get some sleep:) Sheilagh |
I'm so glad your baby is feeling better. Thank God there was some one here that knew something about the situation! My fair lacey you are in school to be a vet is that right? It's good to know you are around to help! :D |
First let me say :welcome4: to Yorkie Talk! Glad you found it and the help you needed here!! and surely hope Benjamin is all better SOON!!! :aimeeyork :aimeeyork :aimeeyork |
Glad you took Benjamin to the ER vet and that things are better. I always knew that salt wasn't good for dogs but I didn't know the extent of the problem. Good thread. By the way. ASPCA Poison Control told me to not ever give pepto. It has aspirin in it. I have read on threads, though, that some give 1/2 baby aspirin.:confused: Joanne :aimeeyork :aimeeyork :aimeeyork :dog: |
